Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | Re: several questions,I suppose

"several questions,I guess. If less than 25% of cal. from fat is what you do to follow the ibs diet,why are so many people talking about how great jennio is and that they eat that,or soy cheese,toffuti sour creme cheese,the fat content is more than %25 of fat. calories,I wondered if they realized this.."

I don't know. I am also not a big fan of processed pressed meats. If that is process pressed meat, which I don't know for sure? I personally go for foster farms oven roasted real turkey. Turkey can also be high in trytophan which breaks dow to serotonin, although the breakdown is complex and many factors are involved in that as well.

Reviewing the product some it looks pretty good really. Doesn't say much about fillers or anything, but no hormones or steroids.

It does look like you can get all JENNIE-O extra lean ground turkey. Which loooks very low in fat.

The 85/15 Ground Turkey is much higher in fats.

Some processed meats are also really high in sodium and that might make a person retain water more and feel more bloated.

Pork can be low in fat

Fat in Pork
Through changes in feeding and breeding techniques, pork producers have responded to consumer demand for leaner pork. Today's pork has 16 percent less fat and 27% less saturated fat than 15 years ago. Many cuts of pork are as lean as skinless chicken.
Trimmed pork tenderloin and skinless chicken breast have the same amount of total fat content. In addition, six cuts of pork in the chart have total fat content between the skinless chicken breast and skinless chicken thigh:

Fats are important in diet in general and you have to get some fats from foods, you can eliminated all I personally feel.

Some of these qustions some others hopefully will address for you. I don't personally eat most of the things you posted here. I also personally eat diary and red meat and some others foods a lot of people don't here. But that is a personal thing I have found for myself. I don't have lactose intolerence either. Some foods that bother me personally I stay away from, a lot of frutose, soda, carbonated drinks and some others, I found I didn't tolerate well a long time ago. Sometimes a food might trigger my IBS and then another time it won't, depends on my state of mind, the food and other issues.

I am trained in french, swiss and American Northwest cooking and a lot of my recipes would be considered not IBS friendly, although I do have a lot of them that might be more IBS friendly.

Heather, is the one you should ask some of these questions too on specifics of the items you mentioned.
